A VISITATION OF GOD.
Calling on God to Paralyze HIM -
The Challenge Answered.

DOUGLAS, Ca, Jan. 10.-"I hope
that God may paralyze me-" were the
words spoken by William Burkett.
At once his hands dropped to his side,
his legs refused to move, and his eyes
rolled wildly around. His prayer was
answered, as he stood paralyzed on the
spot where but few moment before lie
was a magnificent type of physical
manhood. He tried to speak, but his
tongue would not move. Half dozen
men, who were present were rendered
motionless by the evident visitation of
the hand of God. When they recovered
self possession they tenderly moved the
afflicted man to his residence, half
mile distant. When Miss Rhody Bur-
kett saw the plipht in which her faith
or was brought home, she screamed
and tainted, and died few days later.
For years Mr.. Burkett had been the
ferryman at the Hawkinsyille road
crossing Of the Ocmulgee River. He
was of giant physique, with long gray
locks, and became especially noted be-
cause Of the brace of revolyers which
he kept strapped to his waist. He was
great hunter, and the ferry being in
the midst of swamp he was conven.
lent to an abundance of game. From
those who lived around him it is learn
ed that he is fearfully profane. When
ever he sighted game and was called
off he would pour out such yolley of
oaths as would make the flesh of or
dinary men crawl. It was while in
one of these profane spells he cursed
his Creator, and wound up with the
expression aboye quoted.
The news soon spread throughout
the country, and scores of people called
t. see the victim. He was at first
completely prostrated, but subsequent
ly was enabled to take a few steps,
when he would fall. When spoken to
he replies in an .inarticulate humble.
and acts in the most idiotic manner.
The physicians can ascribe no natural
cause for his atfliction, but admit that
it is visitation Of God. The preach
ers in the neighborhood have used the
incident in their sermons with great
effect.

A Sisters Bequest.
An Interesting Story Related in the
Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court yesterday
heard pathetically interesting story
which surrounded the law point in
volved in the appeal of Mary Magoo-
han from the decree of the Orphan s
Court, which awarded distribution Of
the estate of her sister, Annie, wife Of
William c. Fitzpatrick. In anticipa.
tion of her maternity Annie Fitzpat-
rick lett 81 500 to her sister, atcompa-
nying the gift with these directions
"In case my child lives save the prin
cipal for it and use the interest as you
please. See that the child gets a prop
er education, and do not let it want
for anything you can give it. In case
it dies you will have the money and
no one will know anything about it"
The child died soon after its mother,
and the father claimed the n oney un-
der the interstate laws as heir to tie
child.
The Orphans Court held that the
sister could not have taken the money
unless the child had died during its
mothers lifetime, and that as the child
survived the gift became absolute, and
at its death the money went to the
father. 1t was claimed for the sister,
in the argument on the appeal, that
the words "in case it dies you will
have the money and no one will know
anything about it" fairly indicated an
intention to will the money to the
sister in the event of the child's death
The Supreme Court reserved its opin-
ion on the case.-Philada. Times.

Everyday Religion.

Every day religion is the foundation
Of thoroughness, which is another word
for truthfulness or honesty. Workmen
that slight their work, whether they
make shirts for living or sermons,
build houses or ships, raise fiocks or
raise families, will be some day or other
found out. We want clothes that will
not rip, vessels that will not leak, and
bridges that will not break down. So
we want characters that will stand
temptation ,and not snap asunder under
the sudden pressureS, ,Of life.

Since Code Commission has been
created by the Legislature aud an APP
preparation made for the pay Of its
members, it has been discovered that
the congressional enactment, approved
July 30th, 1886, renders the act Of the
Legislature nugatory and Of no effect,
aud to settle the question beyond dis
pute we here submit the introductory
section Of the Federal law snubbing
Territorial legislation. II Is as asrepell-
ant as words can make il;
Sec. s. That no law Of any terrific
rial legislature shall authorize any
debt to be CONTRACTED BY or on bohalf
Of such territory except in the follow
ing cases; 10 meet casual deficit m
the royenues, to pay the interest upon
the territorial debt, to suppress in5nr-
reetious, Or 10 provide for the public
defense, except that in addition to any
Indebtedness created for such purposes,
the legislature may authorizs loan
tor the erection Of penal, charitable Or
educational institutions for such ter
ritory, il the total Indebtedness of che
territory Is not thereby made to ex-
ceed one per eentum upon tue assess
ed value of the taxable property in
such territory as shown BY the last
general assessment for taxation And
nothing in this act shall be construed
to prchibit the refunding Of any ex-
isting Indebtedness Of such territory
or OF any political OF municipal c2rpo.
ration, county, or other subdivision
there in.
II the law creating the commission
is not super Legislation what IS ii? II
certainly Is an attempt to override an
authoratiye power, and therefore,
fails Ia enact, and such being the case
what will the revisssOn be worth
after eompletionP The question,
doubtless, will be answered, by an
i. Z. DIS when il arrses id the pro-
gress Of a iuit whore tie code Is
presented in court as authority.

Had the Legislature curtmled the
veto power Of the Governor, instead
of increasing il, they would have been
in rapport with the desire Of the
people. The veto power carries with
IT, controlling power in legislation.

QUEER ECONOMY

Governor Zulick tries to make it
appear that the Territorial prison has
been conducted with great economy
under democratic administration, in
support of which assertion it is given
out that the cost per capita for main
tanning prisoners has been reduced to
$50 cents a day.
But by reference to the published
reports, for the last quarter Of 1886,
we find that the Governors very far
out Of the way in his statement. The
expenses ofthe PRISON for the quarter
were Sl4,525.2S and deducting S226,
received for boarding U. s. prisoners,
we have S14, ,229, % as the actual ex-
penditure Then it is seen by the
Superintendeut's report that 28 pris-
onars were received during the quar-.
ter, so we reckon that one half of that
number only, or II, were boarded for
the full three months, and deducIlGg
IA from 161 (the number Of inmates at
the end of the quarter) we have I47 as
the average number in the Institution
during the quarter, which would
make the cost per capita a fraction less
than 81 cents.
Even these figures, as apparently
showing reduction over previous cost,
are deceptive since the chief expense
Of maintaining the prison Is in salaries
paid officials, and the cost per capita
of the convicts is necessarily augu-
mented or diminished according to
the decrease or increase, respectively,
of the number Of prisoners. So in
reality there has been no reduction
made in the expenses but on the con
trary they have been increased by the
additional number OF convicts, show
ing an increase Of crime in the Ter
ritory, or else a more successful pros.
ecution of criminals in our courts,
Taking the accounts for the last
quarter of 1886, audited and approved
by the Board of Prison Commission
ers, we find las before stated that
they aggregate S14,525.23 Of which
sum s6,827.33 was paid out for salaries
and wages! THIS is at the rate Of $27,
309,82 per annumIl Another item in
the last quarterly account is $474.79
( for railroad fares for discharged pris-
oners the number liberated is stated
as nineteen, The actual expense for
food, clothing, medicines etc is seen
to be only about one half of the total
Disbursements an exhibit which GER
tainly does not reflect credit upon the
management.
I In Missouri, republican newspapers
are denouncing the management Of
the State pententiary, at Jefferson
City, because the institution is not
self-supporting, yet the entire cost per
capita Of prisoners there is only "a
cents per day and by their labor the
inmates earn 20 cents, making defc-
| it Of IA cents expense to the state.
Several Eastern reformatories are not
only selG-sustaining, but pay a reye-
nue. TO the state, and there is no rea-
son why our Territorial prison should
not be conducted With some economy.
